Help[Opinions] Re: When nicknames go bad
in reply to a message by Trina
I think Dilly for Dylan is cute. He can opt out of it when he's older; but I can also imagine Dilly suiting a certain type of man without being silly.
Logy, on the other hand, is a negative word. I'd cringe. A logy person is a phlegmatic person, lethargic, lacking energy, bleary, etc.
I know some people who do the same thing with silly nicks for their kids. I think it's fine for parents to do, as long as it stays an affectionate family nickname and isn't forced on the kid when he/she is introduced publicly, like in kindergarten. I'd have just about died if my parents' nickname for me as a toddler were revealed to the world when I was a kid.
